I have a tiny white pill, just off white, really, but you could call it white. It's just a little bigger than a birth control pill. One side appears to be completely blank. The other side appears to have a Roman letter capital A that covers most of the pill. In the open underside of the A there appears to be a lower case i. Below that there appears to be a very small capital T and D, separated by a slight space. There is a remote possibility that the A is a V, but then the TD is at the top and printed upside down. ## The marking is ATD, what you thought was an I is a stylized logo of a mortar and pestle. This tablet contains 19mgs of Levothyroxine and 4.5mgs of Liothyronine, commonly sold under the brand name Armour Thyroid. These are Thyroid hormones.

I had a total Thyroidectomy and take 100mcg of Levothyroxzine and I am experiencing weight loss. Is anyone else having this? ## I did respond to your other post, but will answer here as well, just in case you don't see that one. Weight loss, for some people, is a normal side effect of this drug, not everyone gains weight on it.

Ever since my total Thyroidectomy I have been taking Levothyroxine and I feel awful. I have low energy and get short of breath. I heard people gain weight but I keep losing weight yet my numbers are level. Anyone else experience this? ## Shortness of breath could be caused by an allergic reaction to this medication, you should talk to your doctor about this possibility. As to the weight loss, this is a possicle side effect, not everyone gains weight.

I am taking Levothyroxine & Evista (Raloxifine) and would like to know if these 2 medications have contraindications or interactions with each other? ## Raloxifine can reduce the amount of Levothyroxine available in the body; this may require your doctor to make a dosage adjustment. Ideally, to avoid this problem, you shouldn't take the two drugs at the same time, they should be taken 12 hours apart.

My dosage was just increased,150 MCG,and was wondering if this drug can cause shortness of breath? ## Hi Linda, This may indicate an allergic reaction: "Allergies to the medicine are unlikely, but if the patient develops a severe reaction to this drug such as difficulty breathing, shortness of breath or swelling of the face and tongue it is imperative that the patient immediately seek medical attention."

I was wondering if this is normal, I'm taking this medication in 75 mg daily, my throat feels like it has closed up a little and I've been snoring a storm, my husband says it's really bad. It's this normal... ## Here's the link to the drug monograph: And no, this is not normal, if you read the monograph you will see that this these are listed as less-common possible side effects and something you should see your doctor about IMMEDIATELY!

i have been put on levothroxine 75 mg for a low thyroid after 5 weeks still know weight loss how long before i see a result ## With a slightly low thyroid, I have been on a much lower dose for several months, but have not lost any of the weight I had gained. ## I did lose weight after about a month on the .025 mcg- it came off really slow though and I had to slow down on my calorie intake just brcause the pill made me more hungry. I just went back to eating like I normally did and the weirhgt came off. I went from 137 to 123.
